Reborn dolls

Hi guys,

I just received my first custom reborn doll.  She's the Arianna kit by Reva Schick, and was made by Kimberli Wingard of Angel Baby Maker Nursery.  She was not cheap by any means, but she was definitely worth it!    Since she was a custom I got to pick out her details; skin tone, eye color, and hair color.  It took me about three months to get her paid off.   I did a box opening of her on my YouTube Channel.  I named her Mabelynn, I haven't decided on a middle name yet.  

AMIIBO

Hi, guys!

It started out with me just wanting to get the Link Amiibo that I saw at Target.  He looked amazing!  Now just a few short months later I became addicted.   Here is my Amiibo story...

I had the Link Amiibo and I kept him up on a shelf, and I was pretty happy with just having him.  Then I heard the news that the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo's were going to be discontinued.  So I wisely said to myself,  "I should go pick those up before they were gone.  I just saw them at Target a few months ago!"  Well, as you might've guessed they were sold out!  Oh, well! Then I heard from a YouTuber that Rosalina and Luma were going to be a Target exclusive.  Unfortunately, I heard this news the day after they came out.  I ran to Target and they were already sold out!  I still kept my eye out just in case they find one in the back or something.  Now, Rosalina is my favorite out of the Mario franchise princesses, so that one burned a little bit.  I just got it into my mind that I would never get any of the cool/ rare Amiibo figurines. Needless to say that I have a lot of commons and all of the Super Mario Line, except for silver Mario.  I saw a bunch silver Mario's at Best Buy, but I didn't have the funds to purchase.  Besides, I have the gold Mario and regular Mario from that line.  I wasn't going to get an overdraft fee for that one.

On May 29, 2015 wave 4 Amiibo's and Splatoon came out!  Since my funds were extremely limited I only grabbed what I really wanted.  I did a review of it on my YouTube channel.




I'm not going to get to the whole shortage ordeal,  I think that would be it's own entry.

Christmas 2014

Happy 2015!  I hope everybody survived and had a wonderful Holiday season.  This past year really went by so fast, so much has changed this past year.  The goals for the new year is to get a new job, one which doesn't treat me like total shit.  (That would be nice!)  I'm also hoping to close on my house soon,  my original closing date was November 1st, so this is being a long drawn out process.

Just like last year I made a video from our Christmas.  It was really short since I had to use my phone.

Here is to the year of success!

Job Search and Subscription boxes

Hi guys,

I know that it has been a long while since I've written.  I hope to have a new job soon, I've been sending my resume out frequently.  I've only had one phone interview so far, I'm hoping that they call this week for an in person interview.

If you've been following my YouTube channel, you'll notice that I've been doing a lot of unboxing as of late.  I've mainly been doing Loot Crate and Nerd Block.  I only have a couple of Loot Crate's left, I'm thinking of getting the 1 Up box instead.  All of these are gaming, nerdy, and geeky things. Which  I love!!!  I've always been a closet nerd, at least I thought I was being secretive, so these products are wonderful for me.   Here's an example of one of my unboxings!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and Christmas too!!!!

College is done!

I finally finished college in September.  Which is exciting, but I still need to finished paying some tuition before I get my diploma.  That part stinks, because I don't make much money at my current job.  This means that a new job search in officially up and going.  In this economy it's still hard to land a good paying job.  (Especially since I'm trying to buy a house, and I will soon have student loans.  Yippee!)  I haven't landed anything yet, but I'm going to keep trying.

Here's a YouTube video of some of my work.  The first clip didn't show up, I'm starting to think that it's because it's a PhotoShop file.   Without further ado here it is!  Please comment, rate, and subscribe it means a lot to me.  Thanks!

Finally Finished and Just Getting Started!

Hi guys,

I'm excited to write that my last day of classes was on September 7, I also just got my grades back and I got A's in my final two classes.  I've been in talks with a career counselor, and I hope to get a new job really soon.  As my current job, is becoming a horrible place to work at.  There are some monetization stuff that I'm trying on YouTube, which is working out okay.  Click here to view my channel!  Warning, it's has a hog posh of different topics on it.

I'm also taking into reborning dolls, I have one that was poorly made.  I'd like to fix him, but his rooting is horrible and the body is the wrong size, so it might be more feasible to start completely over with him.  I'm sure I can sell him to a younger collector for what I paid for him.  I do have the Libby kit by Cindy Musgrove that I'm really eager to get started on.  She's going to be approximately 3 month old size.  I just need to get the genesis paints and counter top over than I've got everything I need to get started on her.  I'll probably be documenting her process.  This is very therapeutic for my biological clock, lol!  I'm going to attach a photo of her prototype, so you can see what she might look like when done.  Every reborn is one of a kind, since all artist have different taste and what she likes in a baby.

College

Hey guys,

It's been a really long time since I wrote an entry into my blog.  I've just been really busy with work and school.  To get more grant money, I had to go from a part time student to a full time one.  I'm also supposed to graduate in September, which isn't too far away!

In other news I've been adventuring into some other things. I'll share in the very near future, those on FB already know what most of it is.  If you're following me on YouTube or deviantart, I've recently updated those as well.

Here is a video from one of my classes!

Christmas 2013 (Re written)

Happy New Year everybody! I can't believe that it's already 2014, what a year it was!  That's not the focus of this journal, but I will make one for it really soon.

I hope everybody had a joyous holiday season.  I had to work for Christmas. It was the busiest day I've ever worked, but looking back it was really neat to meet my residents families.  

I celebrated Christmas with my mom, sister and brother in law on Christmas Eve.  We had a lot of fun playing games, eating, and opening up presents.  I ended up getting some random clips through out the night.   Enjoy! 

( I made a mistake in editing, so here's the updated version of the Christmas video.)

Oh my!!!

I can't believe that it's only NINE days until Christmas!  Where does the time go?  What are you guys doing for the holidays?  I'm not doing much.  I guess that I'm visiting some family on Sunday and I think some on Christmas Eve with my sister.   I do have to work on Christmas, which wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't told that I would have Christmas off.  Oh, well!

I plan on shooting some video from the festivities, and I'll upload it to YouTube.  Be sure to check my channel outhttp://www.youtube.com/user/kaelanceful or just search Krystal Lance.

I don't have a tree up for this year yet, but here's a picture from last year.  Merry Christmas!

Vine

Since I've gotten my iPhone a month or so ago, I've been enjoying new apps.  One of those have been Vine.  I've heard of it before, but I never thought that it would be something that I would actually use.   A friend shared a Vine video from a "Best of Vines" Facebook page, then I was hooked.  I probably spent over an hour watching videos and literally laughing my ass off.


I initially thought that Vine would be stupid home video's, but now I know that its much more. I downloaded it a month or so ago, and I must say that I quite enjoy watching and creating videos/ vines.  You can search me on vine, my username is Kaelancer.

Here is a YouTube compilation video.

Snow?

Yes, this past week we had snow here in Kansas, it wasn't a blizzard or anything like that.  It did stick for a few hours.  I did make a couple short video's on my iPad.  I must say that I'm impressed that my voice sounds female in these.  (I think that I usually sound like a 40 year old man!)




I'll post a larger update in the very near future!

What's UP?

No, I was not talking about that delightful movie that Disney/ Pixar made a few years back.  (I can't remember if it was Disney or Pixar, so I combined them)  Anyway UP! was a great movie, though terribly sad in the beginning.  I loved it!  What are your thoughts?  Already we are way off topic!


I had five days off last week, love having PTO, you know what I did?  Yep, not much.  I just got some much needed rest and got a lot of Christmas shopping done.

For Labor Day weekend my family got together and had a BBQ and played card games.  i.e. Apples to Apples.  My sister and brother in law got new phones and were showing my mom how awesome the cameras are on them.


Today I'm going to an emergency trip to the doctor's. Maybe we'll get some answers, but I'm thinking not. I'm also half way through my digital design class!
